Hey guys,

when ever i load a file into window media player i get the above error.. i have looked at some other posts about this and well it dont work either...

its a .mpg i tried using the virtual dub but it says no frames found..

anyone got anything else they can think of to fix this issue?

Is it just the one file?
Where did it come from?
Have you tried G Spot's 'file information'?

thx for your quick response..

it is just 1 file..

off the internet..

i tried to load it into the gspot program tells me its a MPEG4/VOB

wont render tells me it fails

any other suggestions?

I personally have no experience of downloaded movies, a sub-forum on the subject has been closed so I think my only suggestion considering it says MPEG4 is to try ffdshow.
Again, I have no personal experience of this but it's a very popular viewer and tool. Good luck
